The Little Masters program is our preparatory music program for kids ages 3-6. This unique and innovative introduction to music offers a fun, imaginative, and enjoyable learning experience for young beginners. Our Little Masters program curriculum is specifically designed to teach music to children using a combination of music lessons, music theory, instruction on correct posture, and immersive learning through movement.

​

Our Little Masters music learners receive instruction on the basic requirements for each instrument we teach at our Northern New Jersey music school, including piano, violin, and guitar as well as other instruments. Students in our Little Masters program develop playing and listening skills simultaneously through an approach that emphasizes appreciation for a variety of musical styles and gradual accumulation of fundamental knowledge and skills. With this solid foundation, our Little Masters students can then reap the benefits of our private one-on-one lessons for any specific chosen instrument.
